Solution:
We know that:
[tex]Original \ price = \$11[/tex]
[tex]Sale \ price = \$9.25[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9.25}{11} + \frac{1.75}{11} =100\%[/tex]
Simplify the equation to find the percent off:
[tex]\frac{9.25}{11} + \frac{1.75}{11} =100\%[/tex]
[tex]84\% + \bold{16\%} = 100\% \space\ \space\ \space\ \ \ \ \ [Rounded][/tex]
This means that the original price has decreased about 16%.
